GATEFOLD LP JACKET, DIGITAL DOWNLOAD CARD

Vinyl LP pressing housed in a gatefold sleeve, includes digital download. 2018 release from the critically acclaimed singer/songwriter. On his scorching, cinematic new concept album The Crossing, Alejandro Escovedo tells the story of two young immigrants - Salvo from Italy, and Diego from Mexico - working in a Texas restaurant in pursuit of the American dream. Mirroring Escovedo's own experience as the child of Mexican immigrants, and drawing inspiration from his relationship with Italian co-writer Antonio Gramentieri, their journey navigates cultural identity, ancestral weight, minority rights and racism as they realize they have arrived in a different America - one that's not as open and free as they believed it would be. Escovedo crossed borders of his own for The Crossing sessions, recording outside the US for the first time ever at a farmhouse in Villafranca, Northern Italy with the help of co-producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Gomez, Iron & Wine).
